Strong Second Half Not Enough, Boxers Lose 105-83

Pacific's offense would double its' first half shooting percentage, but could not come back, losing to Linfield 105-83.

The Boxers (7-9, 1-6 NWC) offense would come out cold at Linfield (13-4, 6-2 NWC) and be held under 90 points for the first time since December 19.
 
Shooting just over 20 percent from the field the Boxers would find themselves down early in the first half, despite committing fewer turnovers than the Wildcats.
 
In the second half, the Boxer offense would come alive led by Marcus Wallace and Davis Holly (13 and 11 points in the half respectively). The Boxers would shoot 41.7 percent as a team in the half.
 
Boxers would also shoot 7-18 from the three-point line in the half, with Andy Isokpehi hitting both of his attempts from deep.
 
As a team, the Boxers would crash the offensive glass hard, coming away with 13 offensive rebounds and sophomore John Rigatti collecting four of them in the half.
 
Rigatti would also finish as the only other Boxer in double-digits as he added 13 points on 6-11 shooting in just 17 minutes on the hardwood. Rigatti would also have a career high eight-rebound game, leading the team.
 
Wallace would add a season-high four steals to his stat line as the Boxers picked the pockets of Linfield ball handlers 20 times in the game.
 
The Boxers are back, Saturday January 19, at Lewis and Clark with tip-off scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Portland.
